Rewatched s1 then did s2-3 before the new season started, and then read the thread to see reactions from each episodes. I’ve learned two things - one, boy am I glad I didn’t have to deal with that 3 year wait between s2 and s3, and two, there is zero point trying to predict where this show is going for even minor elements based on the track record.

I still really want to know why Fuches had Barry kill that family man in the hotel room.

I wouldn’t mind that being resolved in the final episode, a nice way to bookend the show.

Fuches was right behind him in line for pretzels and family man got the last pretzel of the day. I can't remember what show that's from.

I probably wouldn't care as much about the dude in the hotel if it wasn't for the return to it in season 3. Maybe they only wrote that in so there would be one more group of people trying to kill Barry, but the fact that the victim was having a normal conversation with his wife right before absolutely intrigues me. Plus, she's still sad about it all this time later. If he was into some poo poo, the happy go lucky nature would be a really creepy cover. Also, you'd think some of whatever he was into would have come up since his death. Guy gets murdered in cold blood, you'd think some dirt would be dug up. Barry's other victims all had reasons, as flimsy as some of them were, to have been killed. Ryan was loving around with Goran's wife. Jeff and the other dude were literally there because one of them contacted Barry directly (I can't remember anything about that, only that there's NO FORGIVING JEFF!), Ronnie was loving the wife of Moss' old partner, and Barry's war buddy was going to go to the cops. Everyone else, unless I'm forgetting someone, died due to actions and circumstances in the scenes themselves (Taylor, Taylor's sister (?), Moss, a bunch of the Bolivians and Chechens in that monastery, etc). Literally everyone is somehow accounted for, except for the dude in the hotel room. I wanna know why.

Oh, I figured out what it was; American Dad; Stan's trying to convince his subconscious that killing can be justified. There's a small bit with Roger trying to 'help', explaining on the way to said guy's house that this guy ran a trafficking ring and some other horrible poo poo before the guy speaks up that he remembers Roger from the pretzel place.

I want to briefly point out that the actor who played the District Attorney was also the captain of the remnant forces on The Mandalorian last week. I watched the episodes back-to-back and did a double take. Goons will probably best know him as the voice of Jefferson Twilight, Blacula Hunter.

Bill Hader is just knocking it out of the park with this show, and I'm happy that he's not afraid of getting a little bit more weird in the final season and willing to leave the audience wanting more.

Bringing back the fantasy daydreams that I thought they dropped from the first couple episodes is a nice little touch too. Those were the future, these are the past. It’s like poetry, it rhymes!

I've been rewatching some episodes to pass the time and that scene with Albert and Fuches was fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBUFGcWMsxA Fuches is the definition of a multi-layered character and Stephen Root constantly brings it.

In my rewatch I just worked my way up to the episode where the grieving mother and son decide to kill Barry. When the gun goes off accidentally in the car, I remember watching that for the first time and it was so unexpected and I just howled with laughter. Over and over again they’ve done something I just never saw coming. I don’t know what kind of numbers the show has done as far as ratings, but I seem to see a lot of people who just don’t “get” it. It’s quite funny but also dark as gently caress, and I love the way they mix those two things, but the dark poo poo really puts some people off, maybe.

Same, and Barry's reaction was the perfect way to cap it off. The LMG handoff on the highway might be the only moment I've laughed harder.

My favorite Fuches scene is in the S2 finale where he starts giving a speech to Hank and Cristobal except that he’s so far away no one can hear him. But then his speech actually has genuine emotional depth to it.

It was near the end of the last episode of s3. Barry was dropping the body of the guy Sally killed into a hole, turned around, and Albert was standing there. That’s the last we’ve seen of him.

I think you just remember him killing Albert because it was what it seemed like was going to happen. Then they subvert it with Albert giving him another chance and just walking away while Barry cried. So unless they're going to retcon it as a hallucination or something he should still be in the mix if they want him.

Yeah the tragedy of Albert's last scene is that Barry needed to hear him say "I know you're a good person" way back in season 1, hearing it at that point just before going to confront Mr Moss prevents zero tragedies because he's already past the point of no return morally
